+ | * **T/O** - Take off weight - is the maximum weight at which the pilot is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits, | ||
+ | * **LW** - Landing Weight - aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land, | ||
+ | * **ZFW** - Zero Fuel Weight - total weight of the airplane and all its contents, minus the total weight of the usable fuel on board (unusable fuel is included in ZFW). | ||
